The #IANLS has now its own #zenodo community where all presentations held at the #ianls25 can be published: https://zenodo.org/communities/ianls/records

A small but hopefully important step towards more #openaccess in the field of #neolatin studies.

Willkommen bei DEMEL - K.u.K. Hofzuckerbäcker Wien Welcome to Demel - home of the finest cakes, chocolates and sweets in the heart of Vienna. Both a cultural and culinary institution, our traditional coffee house has been tempting locals and traveller...

This is a good list already, but it's missing my all time favourite and the place where the Sacher cake was invented:

One of my profs used to say: „If you want a good translation, you‘re gonna have to do it yourself.“

In my case it‘s more: „If you want a translation, you‘re gonna have to do it yourself.“

Currently I’m onto a previously untranslated chronological treatise from 1606…

The IAU named θ Aquilae (HIP 99473) 'Antinous', preserving Ptolemy's 137 CE designation honoring Emperor Hadrian's deified favorite in the region of the extinct Babylonian constellation The Corpse. This star in Aquila continues a 2000-year tradition. #Astronomy #IAU #starnames #WGSN

The IAU's star naming announcement highlights global astronomical heritage. From ancient Sumerian to South African languages, these names show humanity's diverse views of the night sky. Each name tells a story of culture and celestial observation. #Astronomy #IAU #starnames #WGSN
